20-Aug-2009 --
We made an incursion into Mato Grosso do Sul to a place called Porto Alegre on the edge od Cuibá river.

The access was not easy due to conditions of the road, the dust that is common this time of the year and the number of gates we had to open. From December to July the area is flooded by the Tauqri river.

Along the route we saw various kinds of wild animals such as deer, anteaters, armadillos, alligators, wild pigs and several species of birds.

On the way there we noticed the confluence was at 5 km from the road we where driving and decides to visit it on the way back. The point is half way to the property of Luis Sávio Viegas de Barro, which is ta 150 km from Coxim, our point of origin.

Our thanks to Alex Leite Castelo Miranda who lives in the property and escorted us.

We drove back home very pleased and full of energy from the beautiful scenery we had seen.
